Marlon Moraes is determined to relive his former glory as one of the best bantamweights in the world by competing for PFL. After facing six consecutive losses by stoppage, he is set to go head-to-head with undefeated featherweight contender Gabriel Braga at PFL 4. As a fighter known for his explosiveness, Moraes is eager to put on a spectacle for his fans.
Moraes is an American Top Team product who left the UFC after facing defeats from prominent UFC fighters including Cory Sandhagen, Rob Font, Merab Dvalishvili and Song Yadong. Despite failing in his PFL debut rematch with Sheymon Moraes in the 145-pound division, he aimed for a showdown against Brendan Loughnane, the 2022 champion during the first stop of the 2023 season. Despite putting up a good fight, Moraes was defeated in the second round by Loughnane’s brutal leg kicks.
Although Moraes is determined to get back on the winning track, he is not rushing things. He is realistic in his goals and accepts that he is going through a rough patch in his career. By fighting hard, he aims to enter the 2023 playoffs and potentially compete against Loughnane again in the future.
For the upcoming PFL 4 fight against Braga, Moraes is eager to be “stronger than ever” and entertain fans to secure a spot in the 2023 playoffs. He is confident, despite currently sitting in last place based on the featherweight standings, that he can emerge victorious. By asserting that his competitors are not from another world, he underscores his belief that he has what it takes to win.
In summary, Moraes is using his experience and skill to approach this new challenge head-on. His goal is to relive his former glory days and prove that he is still one of the best. Despite his recent setbacks, he is determined to come out on top and make a statement at PFL 4.
